NCAA Football 2005 Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Published: Jan 21, 2004

Introduction

It's that time of the year again... time to take that
trip to Target and load up on hand towels, Easy Mac and Top Ramen. Time to buy
the mini-fridge, Nilla Wafers, full-length mirror and trusty fan. Time to
discuss what the sock on the doorknob means, who's going to bribe the RA to let
you break curfew, and how the new crop of freshman honeys look. In short, it's
time to go back to college.

EA is also headed back to school with the latest game in their college
football legacy, NCAA 2005. The game
is as large and exciting as an Ohio State/Michigan matchup... and more difficult
than winning the national championship. Luckily, IGN Guides is here to coach you
through the rough spots. Here's what the full guide offers:
